Tinkers are Irish nomadic people. they are called tinkers because they traditionally mended and sold kitchen pots and pans for a living. they were/are seen on the bottom rung of the social ladder- like most gypsy type people.
they usually lived in caravans in small groups on the outskirts of towns. they were sometimes ran out of towns. i was in Ireland in 1988 and saw 'villages' of caravans and were told that they were tinker people. they dried their washing by hanging the clothes in bushes. i met an old tinker woman, who went to a certain pub at the same time each day and sat for hours in front of the fire. i was sitting on her stool (unknowingly) and was told to move by the barman and the townspeople. it seemed she was a favourite customer who had been coming there for 50 years.
traditionally, tinker people had horses and old wooden wagons, but now have big cars that tow aluminum caravans.
i am a convict descent Australian and was told as a child by my granny about the tinker people.
however, the term 'tinker' has been used for anyone who makes there living out of mending or selling kitchen pans.

Where is Tinkers Nook in Pixie Hollow?
Tinker bell lives in Pixie hollow which is in Never-land. Never-land is a place where all magical creatures live like mermaids, unicorns, fairies etc... ( I don't know if dragons live there tho). Tinker bell is a tinker fairy that means that she makes things using stuff from mainland ( mainland is where WElive). There are different fairies with different talent who live in different areas in pixie hollow. For example, a light fairy lives in sunflowers. I think tinker bell lives in a little leaf house in the autumn meadows. That's what I know.
How did Tinkerbell get her name from the beginnig?
Well, if u have seen the movie (Tinker Bell) u would kno. See, in the begining of the movie, the narrator says that everytime a baby laffs,a fairy is born.Well, a baby laffs, and the sound waves blow little "petals" of a Danylion (becuz theres a myth that fairies come from danylions.) and the dandylions float all the way to Pixie Hollow,but on the way there, One of the petals hits a BELL. That's how she got the "Bell" part. The tinker part, is becuz her special talent is being a Tinker Fairy, Tinkers fix things. Like, some of the other fairies are flower fairies,so if she had become a Flower Fairy, her name would probably be FlowerBell.
